Top 5 music videos this week on the MusicCast

Updated May 7: For the sixth week in a row, The Seed holds down the top spot in our Top 5 list of the most-played local music videos on the MusicCast with "No More." But hold on -- the Pickin' Buds are coming up fast with the video they sent us of "Demijohn." In fact, just one play made the difference this week. What will happen in the coming week? That's up to you. We base the MusicCast Top 5 on who gets the most plays. Technically, this week it's a Top 6 because, as you'll see, we had a tie for fourth place.

If you're thinking your band's video should be in the Top 5, well, post it to our site, and maybe it will be. Details are below.

Here’s the week Top 5, based on number of plays on this MusicCast this past week:

1. "No More," by The Seed
2. "Demijohn," by the Pickin Buds
3. "Can You Understand?," by The Seed
4. "A New Season," by The Seed and "OxyContin Rock," by the Roanoke Allstars (tie)
5. "Untitled Waltz," by The Wading Girl

Next update coming: May 14.

Next band coming to the MusicCast: Maybe yours, if you submit a video.


What is the MusicCast?

The MusicCast is a video blog of local bands. We started in the fall of '06 bringing bands into our studio at The Roanoke Times. That proved popular with fans, not so much with our co-workers -- especially after one metal band brought in amps the size of a small house. We're told that things were rattling on desks on the second floor.

Now we're recording out of Jake Dempsey's Red Room Studio in Roanoke.

Along with the videos themselves, you'll find links to the band's website and MySpace profile. Click the MySpace profile link to see when the band is playing again and to contact them directly.
